Hello to everyone who arrived in Aefenglom recently! Without doubt you must be feeling lost and confused right now. But fear not, that is where I and the other Mirrorbound come in! My name is Marie Antoinette, it’s a pleasure to meet you! I have been here for some time, so I would love to offer you some of the experience I have accumulated during these months - I was lost and confused at some point as well and I wand you all to have access to the assistance I know I needed back then! I was blessed to have close friends from home here with me but I know that not everyone’s situation is like this. Maybe you are the only person from your homeland to ever arrive in Aefenglom or maybe you have been separated from your friends and family.
Fear not! Our homelands are as different as possible but we are all in this together and we will help each other! I will write up what strikes me as most important and others, especially Witches can add to it! I am a Fae so much of the Witch business is unknown to me. However, that’s why we all need to share experiences!
[She attaches a small and very simple smiling drawing of herself]
Firstly, you will hear this many more times but whether you are a Witch or not, do not neglect your Bonds! You might be thinking that you do not need anything like that, that you have always managed without any kind of connection. The truth is, it is different in Aefenglom. You need a Bond to survive. I know what you are going to say, that you do not want this kind of closeness with anyone. Still, I recommend you at least try it with someone, for your own good - if it does not work out, you can always call the Bond off. You can also use the temporary Bond potions to get a feel of how a Bond feels fist. If making friends is not your forte, just contact me and I will do my beat to introduce you to someone!
Secondly, and this is directed to those who are not Witches... You are going to experience changes. These will start happening when full moon comes and will repeat every month. Depending of what you are transforming into, these might be faster or slower, but whatever happens, it will probably hurt you, a lot. You might feel as if you weren’t yourself. Do not stay alone during these harsh days. Have someone to give you a hot cup of tea and hold your hand. If you can, find a Bond before that. Even if your Bonded does not stay with you, the connection will make the whole process less painful and more bearable.
Do not hesitate to reach out to other Mirrorbound with any questions you might have. We have all been new here at some point. I can take care of you during your first transformation if you do not have anyone else. Just contact me via the watch!
[Her own transformations were... more or less bearable by now.]
Please take care of yourself, everyone. If the recent events have shown me anything, it is that we as the Mirrorbound of Aefenglom are always ready and willing to help each other, no matter how bad the situation might be. It is when the Mirrorbound refuses to accept the help when the worst tragedies can occur.

(that... that sucks. that sucks, marie.)
Great, good to know. I'm still sold on being a witch over a monster (there has to be a better word we can use for you guys.......), I don't think I could handle growing an extra pair of legs. Like at all.
Thanks for all this, btw. It's really cool that you're willing to explain all this to people. Every bit helps, I think. It has for me, at least.
no subject
[And wow, a rare sentiment in Aefenglom, but one that she sympathizes with]
I dislike the term myself. It brings out some... unpleasant memories. But I know that nobody in Aefenglom means it that way, so I do not mind it being used that much.
I am glad to be of help! Please do not hesitate to call my watch if you need help with anything, from housing and Bond partners to bargains in the shopping district
no subject
ig if it doesn't bother you guys, it's fine. Lmk if you ever wanna be called smth pc, though. Like "changed" or "misunderstood people who didn't sign up for this".
I could use all the help I can get shopping lol, I have tried to break down the fashion here and I'm at a total loss. When I get some money, maybe you can point me in the right direction?
no subject
As for your second question...
[shopping trip shopping trip shopping trip]
I would be delighted to! Not to brag but I do have a good eye for fashion, so it is something I would gladly help with. Just give me a call over the watch whenever you need me!
no subject
I'm Jonas. It's nice to meet you, Marie. Lol you must get the whole "oh wow, Marie Antoinette, that's so crazy" thing all the time, huh?
(guess who has NO IDEA? this guy)
no subject
Nice to meet you too, Jonas! And yes, they do say that to me often... but only when I do something like sending a gift to every Mirrorbound. Do you really think it was that crazy of me to do that?
[She does not really understand what he means. Of course she is Marie Antoinette, who else would she be?]

Please don't do that, people are going to take advantage of you.
no subject
I just wanted everyone to know I would love to make new friends in the new year. Also, fellow Mirrorbound should look out for each other!
no subject
Idk you should absolutely do whatever makes you happy. I had to warn you, though.
no subject
I wish I could say that I believe nobody would willingly hurt another person. I know that it is not true and that there are people out there who are just... bad. I know they might try and take advantage of me. But I still believe it should not stop me from doing my best
no subject
Just be careful. Cool?

I'm the real winner here.
